I just saw that on Fox News! Very sad news/ start to an air show season. My thoughts and prayers are with the pilot and his family and fellow crew members.

From the Beaufort Gazette:
darn.
A Blue Angel crashed Saturday afternoon while performing at an air show at the Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.
Authorities say the pilot, still not identified, was killed in the crash.
It was not immediately known whether anyone else was hurt in the crash.
Emergency crews at the scene of the crash site called for the coroner about 4:20 p.m., indicating that the pilot was killed in the crash.
Police reports indicate that the Blue Angel clipped power lines near Shanklin Road in Burton about 4 p.m. and went down about 30 minutes into the unit's show at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.
darn.

Very SAD indeed. My prayers go out to the family and friends of the pilot. Also to his fellow pilots and crew. They will need to be in our thoughts also.
